What is a Loan Officer?

A loan officer is a critical part of the American Dream! We get to work directly with homebuyers to guide them through the process of buying or refinancing a home – one of the largest financial decisions a person can make. From qualifying, loan program selection, through funding we have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with our clients, and referral partners. On top of this we get flexible schedules, great compensation, and the ability for exponential growth!

What Past Students Had to Say

  • Intensive, but fun. Covered a lot of information. All of the videos and instructors were excellent. Great exercises and could have used more, especially the loan scenarios.I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in becoming a mortgage loan originator.

    Gordon B. - 2nd Quarter 2017 Graduate

  • I was previously in loans for about 6 years and went to the sidelines for awhile, deciding to get back in the market I had a chance to experience MWF LO Academy. It was just filled with info that would take you a long time to figure out on your own. If you are thinking of taking the course, it is a great investment of time.

    John P. - 2nd Quarter 2015

  • The MWF loan officer academy has been very helpful in my process of moving towards being a licensed MLO. I Have family members that have been in the mortgage industry for years now and they are surprised at how much I have been able to learn in such a short period of time.Thank you MWF

    Russell R. - 2nd Quarter 2016 Graduate

  • I have been in the industry for a little over a year and a half. I feel that, above and beyond the required education to be certified through the NMLS, this class has really prepared me for what is expected within Mountain West Financial as a bank. I think that it was worthwhile and I hope to see workbooks or assignments as we progress with the company as well.

    Bill D. - 4th Quarter 2015 Graduate

  • It has been a great experience to be part of this course. All the material is very interesting and practical. I am surprised all I have learned! All the instructors involved are very professionals on all their topics and also the supportive staff are always available to help you with any questions. Thank you very much!

    Guadalupe N. - 4th Quarter 2017 Graduate

  • MWF's Loan Officer Academy has been such an amazing experience. Every instructor was extremely informative and helpful.

    Priscilla C. - 2nd Quarter 2016 Graduate

  • Since day one I have learned so much from the academy. I am new on the industry, but with the help of the videos and the quizzes I now understand the industry more. I feel more confident on talking to people and asking for the necessary information to do a prequal and follow with the loan process. What I enjoyed the most was the pre-quals and get more used to with the process and calling people. I will definitely say that the Loan Academy is a great way of learning of the industry in a fast way.

    Valeska S. - 3rd Quarter 2015

  • I really appreciate the time and effort MWF put into this learning module. I started as a completely blind person to the mortgage industry and after 7 weeks I have a general understanding of it. I am in no way a PRO but much further than i was. Thank You!

    Timothy P. - 4th Quarter 2016 Graduate

  • I would like to take a moment to acknowledge and show appreciation for Mountain West Financial and every member of the staff who has formulated, presented, narrated, and demonstrated all aspects of the LO Academy.  While there was definitely much work to be completed, the process of managing the weekly workload was greatly influenced by the guidance of Gary Martell in each week's "week in review" and the encouragement to move onward in tackling the current week's module.  I have learned and benefited tremendously and I am very appreciative that I was included in this training.  I'm looking forward to beginning my career very soon and hope to make everyone at MWF proud of what they, as a collective group, has guided and motivated me with.  I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to enroll in this course to do so; You will not regret it!

    David B. - 1st Quarter 2015

  • Loan Officer Academy is a very good course. I think this course would have helped me lots when I first got licensed. I really recommend it.

    Eden D. - 4th Quarter 2016 Graduate

  • A SOLID FOUNDATION, is what Mountain West offers. Their approach is to give you the essentials of the mortgage industry as well as what you'll need to be an MLO. Although confusing at times for someone who has no idea of what there is to the real estate industry especially in a loan officer's world. I am certain that throughout this course I have learned more than I anticipated. I still have much to learn and master; however, the opportunity Mountain West gave me accompanied by my mentor, are again a solid foundation to begin a journey of success you can only get through this company.They are still family owned and that tells you a lot about their principles, and I'm all about strong principles. 

    Jose N. - 1st Quarter 2015

  • I really enjoyed the MWF LO Academy. Even though this was an online course it didn't feel like a typical online course. I really liked the fact that the officers of the company took time everyday to be available to talk if we had any questions. I appreciate how Mountain West Financial team really emphasized the new policies, regulations, and procedures.
